OVERVIEW
Most swords offered today are interpretive copies of antiquities from feudal Japan. They were made for warriors of small stature who seldom rose above five and a half feet. As skillfully designed as these swords are, they may not be perfectly suited for the modern warrior who has grown to be a substantially taller version of his historical counterpart. As a way of compensating for this size disparity, Cold Steel has created the Dragonfly Series - a line of Japanese swords featuring thicker, wider, and heavier blades.
This Katana has a thick, wide, and heavy 1060 carbon steel blade. The handle features a distinctive teal-green silk cord-wrap and black samé (ray skin) with black iron furniture with a dragonfly motif. The polished blade is curved and terminates in a long "iris leaf" point for maximum cutting and slashing potential. It comes with two protective bags - a blue cotton travel bag and an intricately decorative display bag that's made from the finest heavy silk brocade.
Coordinating Dragonfly Wakizashi and Dragonfly Tanto also available.
